Variations, traits
Not all members of a species are the same. Every species exhibit variations. Traits, like eye color, are passed from parent to offspring.
Genetic variation is the subtle differences in the DNA sequence in each individual’s genomes. Genetic variation results in various forms or alleles of genes that determines distinct traits such as eye color, skin color, shape of face, and hair color that can be passed on from parents to offspring.
The pigments have a similar
structure of 40 carbon atoms covalently bonded in a chain. Carotenoids contain oxygen atoms in their chemical structure (retinyl functional group) while
xanthophyll does not. This makes carotenoids more non-polar compared to xanthophylls,
hence move farthest in chromatography
paper using a nonpolar mobile phase. Chlorophyll
pigment, on the other hand, has chlorin rings (which are larger) as functional
units hence move slowly in chromatography.
Photosynthetic rates
can be measured by either the amount of
oxygen they consume per particular time period
or the amount of carbon dioxide produced per particular time period. This
is conducted while immersed in water so
as to measure bubble rate formation in case of oxygen production or the change
in water pH in the case of carbon dioxide consumption.
When autumn approaches, the amount
sunlight received by the plant is reduced due to longer night than days. Deciduous trees have adapted by losing
chlorophyll a and b pigments (most important in photosynthesis)
during this time. This leaves a higher amount of the other red and yellow pigments hence making the leaves change from
green to yellow-red.
It is believed that this
is the result of an ancient endosymbiotic
relationship between a protist and a
eukaryotic cell. The protist generates energy
that the eukaryotic can utilize in its growth and reproduction while
the protist is sheltered. This relationship became obligatory symbiosis over
time.
Answer:
Factors that remain constant from experiment to experiment are the constants.
Explanation:
A constant in an experiment is also known as a <em>control variable</em>. It is the part of an experiment that must stay the same in order to validate the experiment. If the constant were to change, the results would be skewed and therefore false.
i.e. you want to test the rate of growth of lima bean plants in different types of lighting. You believe that a lima bean plant that grows in yellow will grow faster and stronger than a lima bean plant that grows in blue or red light.
In this experiment, the constant would be the lima bean plant. You cannot change the type of seed or else your experiment is invalidated. If you tried to use a sunflower seed in the blue lighting and a tomato seed in the red lighting, your results would be invalidated and skewed.
<span>A scientist wants to create a florescent ornamental fish. He needs fluorescence similar to that of a firefly. Which of the send processes would help him create this fish?
The correct answer is </span><span>transformation of the DNA of a fish using a fluoroscent gene from a firefly. In order to do so, he would have to use the gene of the firefly as a reference in order to transform the DNA of a fish.</span>
Answer:
Humans have nearly 30,000 genes that determine traits from eye color to risk for hereditary diseases. Those genes sit along six feet of DNA, which are organized into chromosomes and stuffed into each and every human cell. Chromosomes are coiled into loops and then organized into many large domains called topologically associating domains (TADs).
